Sep 24, 2025 | Bargaining Unit 14 Updates | 0 comments

Our Unit 14 bargaining team held a Joint Labor Management Committee (JLMC) meeting with DGS/OSP on September 16th, 2025, to address issues impacting represented workers in Unit 14.

In discussions with DGS/OSP management, our team raised specific concerns from our represented employees around the following topics:

All new equipment and plans for DGS/OSP
Scheduling of regular worksite informational meetings for workers at DGS/OSP
Assignment of employees to “cross training” work duties
Proper assignment and operation of the Mail Inserter Machine at DGS/OSP

Many of the issues discussed are ongoing and require follow-up discussions between our Unit 14 team and the state to achieve resolution.

If you have any questions, comments, or would like to raise any issues to the Unit 14 team, please visit the Unit 14 page on the SEIU Local 1000 website or email the Unit 14 inbox directly at [email protected].

In solidarity,

Your Union – SEIU Local 1000
